Analog and digital hybrid, initial support for USB ID 2040:1605 since 20111121. Hardware revision USB ID 2040:b130 is not supported. Difference between supported and non supported can be identified by a "HD" in the name. Supported: "Hauppauge WinTV HVR-930C". Non supported: "Hauppauge WinTV HVR-930C-HD" (the HD is only printed on the retail box, not the device).

WinTV-NOVA

Hauppauge uses the WinTV-NOVA moniker for their digital TV PCI cards that lack an onboard MPEG-2 decoder (i.e. the designation is used for their so-called "budget" or software decoding cards). The -C, -S or -T suffices respectively signify whether the device is intended for DVB-C, DVB-S or DVB-T reception.

WinTV-NEXUS

Hauppauge used the WinTV-NEXUS moniker for digital TV PCI cards that included an onboard MPEG-2 decoder; these were rebranded Technotrend SkyStar 1.x full-featured cards to which a second PCI card could be interconnected to provide hardware support for Common Interface subscription-TV modules.

WinTV-HVR

The WinTV-HVR moniker is used for Hauppauge's hybrid line of devices (i.e. they feature both analog and digital tuning capabilities). The "HVR" stands for Hybrid Video Recorder.
